WTF is wrong with people?! My mail carrier is the most chill person, just getting their job done.

Who attacks a postal worker??

Edit: It was my mail carrier! He should be back to work soon, maybe next week.

Give your mail carrier some love, they are probably all stressed out

Like we have deaths of despair from suicide and drug overdose, I suspect that these attacks against post office employees are crimes of desperation.

Does anyone know the location of where this happened?

I've explored parts of Lowell on foot for two decades. My only complaint is aggressive dogs on leashes with inattentive owners who get caught off guard when their dog freaks out. The overwhelming safety issue is getting run over by vehicles so I'm very selective about where I cross streets. I'm selective about when and where I walk.

LPD press release states it occurred on Porter Street, which appears to run perpendicular between Nesmith and High Streets.

Id say most crimes are desperate acts.

There was remarkably little information in this “news” report

Motive?
